Consisting of just 16 barrels, the 2025 edition of Chichibu’s US-exclusive blend of Ichiro’s Malt showcases maturation in ex-IPA and ex-imperial stout casks, lending tropical fruit and rich coffee notes to Chichibu’s distinctive fruit-forward house style. The label—always a source of playful intrigue—features Samuel Langhorne Clemens, aka Mark Twain, enjoying a dram with a Mississippi steamboat in the background, as well as his famous observation, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much whisky is barely enough.”
